Tech millionaire claims to have slowed down aging by DNA editing. Will this technology help humans live forever?
Bryan Johnson, a millionaire, paid $20,000 for a treatment on an island far away that would keep him young forever. He claimed that at 46, he is slowing down the aging process and is only getting one year older every 19 months. As per the reports of the 'Mirror', he changed his DNA on the island because he thought it would make humans live forever. In a video posted on YouTube titled «I Edited My DNA On A Secret Island (To Live Forever),» he discussed his quest to potentially extend the human lifespan.
According to Bryan Johnson, no one has ever been able to live longer than 120 years. He thinks that the solution may lie in gene therapy. He said that, being on an island close to Honduras, he never imagined he would undergo gene therapy.

He clarified that their primary focus was on follistatin gene therapy, a cutting-edge technology that among other things might strengthen muscles, increase strength, and possibly even slow down the aging process.
